TYRONE, GA — Rollings Funeral Service is excited to announce that their podcast, A Grave Affair, recently hosted their first legal round table episode. Umberto Putrino, the show’s host, was joined by Chris Farmer, founder of the Farmer Firm and general counsel for the National Funeral Directors Association, Poul Lemasters, funeral director and attorney with Lemasters Consulting and cremation counsel for the International Cemetery, Cremation & Funeral Association, and Michael Elliott, senior legal counsel and CCO with Carriage Services. The episode was focused on cremation liability.
Greg Rollings, president & CEO of Rollings Funeral Service, commented “When Umberto came to me and said he wanted to do a legal type episode, I immediately thought of turning this into a round table. Cremation liability is such an important topic in our industry, and I wanted to bring in some of the best names in funeral service to discuss the issues surrounding it.” Rollings also mentioned that with 15 episodes in the podcast so far, this episode marks their first round table type format.
Speaking with Putrino, he mentioned that their goal with this episode was to bring in the experts in cremation liability to discuss their experiences and to educate their listeners within death care. “Poul, Chris, and Michael are three very respected names in the legal side of death care and brought with them an immense wealth of knowledge on the episode’s topic. I was so honored to have them on the show,” Putrino said. He also said the topics of the episode included cases the three guests have been involved in, different ways in which a family could bring a case against a funeral home in regard to cremation, and the ways a funeral home can protect themselves against any cremation issues, and more.
This episode can be listened to on A Grave Affair’s Spotify and Apple Podcast channels.
